Dumping really sucks. Usually having it happen to you once is enough for most people to .never want it to happen again.

You need to remind yourself why you had major surgery. You've been through so much. Put that junk that you are stuffing in your face in the trash and to the curb. If it's not in the house you can't eat it. You've got to get yourself together and back on track. I highly recommend a therapist. Couldn't live without mine :) You can do this.

I suggest seeing a psychiatrist. I've seen many psychotherapists, some specializing in eating disorders and somehow we never narrowed my issues down to OCD. If you are a compulsive over-eater, I'm sure you are OCD in other ways as well, and not necessarily the stereotypical ways. It takes time to find the right dose/combination of medication. Personally, I had an aha moment when I was able to go to the candle section of a HomeGoods, pick up and smell just a few, put one in my cart and move one. When it hit me I started crying and laughing at myself. That scenario would have previously been very stressful for me. Seeing all the different options, shapes, colors, sizes, prices and scents. I had to examine each one and weight all the factors before I could decide, on a freaking candle. However, I have also found myself doing the same thing with food, more often in fact, because I have to eat everyday. food just simply should not produce all these feelings, anxieties, or uncertainties. I'm 5 days out and have had a few moments when I had overwhelming cravings for something I cannot eat and felt that same panicky anxiety start to rise up in my chest. While I'm on slow acting meds, I am also prescribed Valium to take just 5mg as needed. And man, do I wish I had this stuff when I quit smoking. For me, it just pulls the plug on the damn record player in my brain and it's such a relief. So, not to downplay seriousness of eating disorders, but compulsive eating may just be part of a bigger condition that needs treatment. Good luck ❤️

Wow I am shocked that anyone would try to eat things that we were told we should not eat again. Well maybe it was just me. I was told this sleeve surgery is a new lifestyle change and I would never and I repeat never be able to eat the following:

1. popcorn

2. oatmeal

3. Grits

4. Potatoe

5. Pasta

6. Rice

7. Cookies

8. chips

9. Sodas

10. Sweet Snacks.

Was I the only one told this? I am following the instructions to the letter because I hate discomfort and I am not interested in finding out what could happen if I went against Doctor's order.

Ha... Grits, oatmeal and (mashed) potatoes are actually the goods I'm ALLOWED to have during the post-op food plan.

My nutrition plan allows for steak cut oats in about 2 more weeks. Mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes are also allowed only during puréed stage and then they state only in moderation. popcorn completely natural with no butter is listed as a healthy grain snack for way later on. The rest are all no's on my list. So looks like every nutritionist is different.

Find a therapist before you seriously hurt yourself. A popcorn kernel lodged in you staple line could cause serious complications. You are too new to binge eat, especially foods like popcorn.

Sodas are even listed in my liquid diet phase post-op, provided they are caffeine free and flat, as in no carbonation. I had a discussion with my surgeon where I told him I was having a little bit of a hard time thinking of some of my favorite foods and that I would never be able to eat them again, and he told me I can eat anything I want in the future, just less of it. It's all about enjoying the things you like with moderation.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
